TNT-Audio has reviewed a new Class-T integrated amplifier; the Virtue Audio Audiophile.ONE ($249). When used with the included 24v power supply, the unit produces 30 watts into 8 ohms. With the optional 30v power supply ($29), power output jumps to roughly 50 watts.
Reviewer Nick Whetstone came to some interesting conclusions after making two key comparisons:
Compared to the four-channel regulated Gainclones the Audiophile.ONE sounded very slightly clearer, and more neutral than the warmer sounding Gainclones.
I won’t name names, but listening to one of the better lower powered class-T amps against the Audiophile.ONE clearly reveals the superiority of the Virtue amplifier. In comparison the smaller class-T sounded a bit soft, a bit less focussed, less punchy.
